Aneo is a renewable energy company with headquarters in Trondheim, established in 2022 by TrønderEnergi and HitecVision. Aneo invests heavily in wind power, solar power, electrification and energy efficiency in the Nordic region. 

Artificial intelligence (AI) and software development play key roles in the necessary renewable energy transition due to the increasing need for automation and data-driven decision making. Therefore, Aneo has an AI and product development department dedicated to developing and maintaining systems for forecasting, optimization, simulation, and control of energy infrastructure including wind turbines, hydropower plants, construction sites, EV chargers and buildings. The department is a cross-disciplinary and international team, with strong backgrounds in machine learning, operations research, and software development. The team works full stack, from understanding business needs and data analysis in Python to deploying AI systems in production, setting up necessary DevOps and cloud infrastructure, and creating user interfaces.

As a summer intern at AI and product development, you will work in groups of 2-3 students on real-world problems related to the topics mentioned above, in close collaboration with both other students and full-time employees.  

All summer students at Aneo will participate in our summer student program, which includes introductions to the power industry and social events throughout the summer. Additional social events are organized by WorkationTrd, where you also meet interns from other companies in Trondheim.  

What we look for:

• Someone with an interest in using AI and/or programming to solve problems in the energy industry.  
• Programming experience, preferably in Python. 
• A team player, who contributes to a good working environment. 
• We mainly look for master students in their 2nd to 4th year or PhD-level, but we are open to considering candidates from other years with a high motivation and interest within renewables, programming and/or AI.
